PC Justin Yelle was off duty when he saw an OPP officer containing a scene of an overturned truck and offered his help until back up was able to arrive.

A letter from Sgt. D. Anderson of Wellington County OPP:

“I just wanted to pass on our thanks to PC Yelle for his assistance on Sunday the 7th August 2016, with a tractor trailer roll over at Brock Rd and the 401. Our occurrence # LP16245830.

This is a very busy intersection for us and this call came in close to the end of our shift. The driver was bleeding from his elbow and traffic on Brock Rd. was blocked both northbound and southbound and in addition, traffic was still coming from the off ramp of the 401.

Before fire/ambulance and back up could arrive, PC Yelle assist our officer, PC Andrew Smith, with blocking off the 401 off ramp, helping the injured driver and directing southbound traffic to turn around.

We are a big county and sometimes it takes a while for back up to arrive. PC Yelle’s assistance was very much appreciated.”

PC Fernandez was at the field across from Driftwood Park Community Center in 31 Division where a group of boys ages 10-15 were practicing soccer. She asked the coach if she could kick the ball with them to which he replied “Do you know how much that would mean to us?” PC Fernandez responded that it would mean a lot to her as well. She spent some time practicing with the team noting that “it was the highlight of my week.”

Officer of the Year

Zoran Ivkovic

Zoran Ivkovic

Police Officer of The Year

An officer who pulled a child from a burning apartment was named Officer of the Year by the Toronto Region Board of Trade at the 49th annual celebration on May 31.

“There was thick black smoke everywhere. I couldn't see a thing,” said Constable Zoran Ivkovic, of having to crawl through the hallway of the Lakeshore apartment building in search of a boy trapped inside.

He managed to find the right apartment and pushed the unlocked door open. Ahead to his left, he saw flames getting higher and, to his right, a hall.

“I took a few steps inside and heard a low moan,” recalls Ivkovic. Using his flashlight, he turned to his right and saw a child slumped against the wall of the hallway. The child’s skin was burned but he was alive.

“I just grabbed him and pulled him close to me,” said the officer, who crawled his way out of the apartment but kept yelling in case there were survivors inside.

"Anyone else in the apartment, walk towards my voice."

On the other side, he heard some voices call back.

“They were saying ‘walk towards us.’” Ivkovic thought it must have been the firefighters on the balcony.

“Okay, the apartment must be clear,” thought Ivkovic, assured by the voices as he picked up the child and began crawling out.

“The kid wasn’t in good shape. He needed to get medical attention right away,” said the officer.

Ivkovic was honoured for putting his life in danger to carry the boy to safety and paramedics.

“It's a great honour. If I had my way, I would share this award with the men and women of the Toronto Police Service,” said Ivkovic, noting the other officers on the scene that day and the work done across the Service each day.
